RFID Based Learning Assessment System

Abstract:- Learning Assessment or traditional testing is typically performed with the participation of a proctor, who must be physically present in the classroom at all times. Protecting the integrity of learning assessments, in any form, often involves complicated procedures and adjustments to the assessment process and environment. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based Learning Assessment System (RLAS) is aimed at removing the need for a human proctor and reducing the complexity involved in the assessment. This is particularly important when assessment is more complex than a traditional pencil and paper variety. RLAS integrates RFID tags, Pocket PC (PDA’s) and a server to create a complete learning assessment system. RFID tags are used to track students ’ movements and PDAs are used as communication devices. Students are then monitored by a virtual proctor on a server. In this paper the development of the RLAS system is described and its use as a tool to develop and execute individualized learning environments for students in K-12 is considered. The system integrates audio, video and common textual learning tools depending on the student’s location and learning style needs. The system further assesses the effectiveness of the chosen tools in the student’s learning process
